COGNITIVE FLOW CONTROL BASED ON CHANNEL QUALITY CONDITIONS
Techniques for use in a wireless device are provided. The techniques include monitoring a status of an amount of data in at least one buffer for transmission; determining an indication of additional capacity for transmission; transmitting at least one signal with an indication based on the monitored buffer status and the indication of additional capacity for transmission; and transmitting data of the at least one buffer based on the transmitted at least one signal.
1 . A wireless device comprising:
a transmitter;
a receiver; and
a processor;
the processor configured to monitor a status of an amount of data in at least one buffer for transmission;
the processor further configured to determine an indication of additional capacity for transmission;
the processor and the transmitter configured to transmit at least one signal with an indication based on the monitored buffer status and the indication of additional capacity for transmission; and
the processor and the receiver configured to transmit data of the at least one buffer based on the transmitted at least one signal.
2 . The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the transmitted data is transmitted in accordance with a modulation and coding scheme.
3 . The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein a response to the at least one signal is received.
4 . The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the receiver is configured to receive ACK/NACK information for previously transmitted data.
5 . The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the wireless device is a Node B.
6 . A method for use in a wireless device comprising:
monitoring a status of an amount of data in at least one buffer for transmission;
determining an indication of additional capacity for transmission;
transmitting at least one signal with an indication based on the monitored buffer status and the indication of additional capacity for transmission; and
transmitting data of the at least one buffer based on the transmitted at least one signal.
6 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the transmitted data is transmitted in accordance with a modulation and coding scheme.
7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein a response to the at least one signal is received.
9 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the receiver is configured to receive ACK/NACK information for previously transmitted data.
10 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the wireless device is a Node B.
